Is your system locale configured with utf-8? :-?

Run "locale" from xterm and check the output.

Anyway, you can try to manually mount the samba resource and test if that
works (in one line):

***
su -c 'mount -t cifs //server/resource /mnt -o
iocharset=utf8,user=samba_share_user,password=samb a_share_password'
***

*Be carefull* with the above command as it will mount the specified samba
share under /mnt, so *before issue the command* just check there is no data
there.

Once mounted, just check if folders with swedish characters are displayed
and can be accessed o.k.
